Sohaila 009



When preparing for my journey to Ireland I asked Sohaila if she had a preference for certain frame styles. Her answer was outspoken: "My preference is big chunky glasses. Thick plastic pairs, the bigger the better".
These striking glasses are an early masterpiece by the famous Silhouette company from Innsbruck, Austria. Silhouette started on a small scale in 1964 but they only started using frame numbers in the mid 1970's. These big, chunky bifocals have no frame number so it's safe to assume that they were made some 40 years ago. The Rx of the glasses is about right for Sohaila, except for the cylinders in the lenses.
